I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O motherboard. This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and a 3ware 9550SX raid card. Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard? Are there any issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause problems? I appreciate any input. I'm just looking to find...

Hi, I'm trying a fresh install on a x86_64 (Supermicro X7dbe, 2xIntel Xeon X5450, 8 GB, 3WARE 9650SE-8LPML, 3 disks in RAID 5).

The message follows: Regards Michael Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find f...

Fellow server-builders out there, this is for you. :) I was trying to build a cheap JBOD type storage solution running CentOS. Ended up snagging a Supermicro SC826TQ-R800LPB 2U case (12 drives slots) and a Supermicro X7DBE-O motherboard.

Now I have a 16-drive case with only a 12-way card. :-) - Return the 3Ware an...

We used again a supermicro X7DBE but now with two LSI SAS3081...

Hi all, I''m putting together a OpenSolaris ZFS-based system and need help picking hardware.
